T0 at whom it 71 any concern:

Be it known that I, ADAM EHEBALD, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the countyand State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Game Device, ofwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in devices with which a varietyof games may be played by any number of persons, the winner beingindicated by the highest number on a rotary part that may be disclosedthrough a chosen opening in the top of the casing when the rotary partcomes to rest, the object bein to provide a device of this characterthat will afford amusement with a degree of uncertainty as to results.

I will describe a game device embodying my invention and then point outthe novel features in the appended claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a game device embodying my invention.Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 3 and Fig. 3 is a section onthe line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

The device comprises a casing 5 of any suitable materialsuch, forinstance, as metaland secured thereto is a top wall 6, provided with anannular row of openings 7 near its edge. When the game is in progress,these openings 7 are to be closed by the closures or caps 8.

Extended through the center of the top wall 6 is a spindle 9, the lowerend of which has a bearing in a block 10, secured to a cross bar orplate 11. Secured to the spindle 9, below the top 6, isa disk 12, whichis designed to be put in rotary motion with the spindle, so as todisclose numbers or blanks below the openings 7, which will behereinafter described.

I provide a means by which the rotary motion may be stopped by a player.purpose the disk is provided with an annular row of perforations 13, inany one of which a stop-pin 14 may engage. This stop-pin is movable in asleeve 15 and passes loosely through an opening in the top 6, to whichthe sleeve is secured. The pin 14 is provided with a finger-piece orhandle 16, which when the pin moves downward or upward slides in a slot17, formed in said sleeve.

For this On the upper side of the disk and designed to be disclosedthrough the openings 7 are numerals 18, and at suitable intervals blankspaces 19 are shown.

In the operation of the device for one form of game the players maychoose any desired opening in the top wall of the casing which, asbefore stated, is to be closed by the caps 8. While the pin is in itsuppermost osition, with the finger-piece 16 resting 011 t e top of thesleeve 15, one of the players Will set the disk in rotary motion bygrasping the spindle 9 and giving a quick turn. If desired, the

disk maybe permitted to rotate until it comes to rest, or, if so agreedupon, the player may turn the pin 14 so that the finger-piece 16 willslide into the slot 17, whereby the pin will pass into one of theerforations 13, which of course will stop t e rotary movement of thedisk. Upon the stopping of the disk the covers for the chosen openingsare to be removed, and the player having the largest number is thewinner of the game.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent 1. A game device comprising a casing having openingsin its top wall, closures for said openings, and a disk mounted torotate in the casing, and having numbered spaces.

2. A game device comprising a casing having openings in its top wall,closures for the openings, a disk mounted to rotate in the casing, andhaving numerals thereon, and a stop device for the disk.

3. A game device comprising a casing having openings in its top wall,closures for said openings, a disk mounted to rotate in the casing,having numbered spaces and blank spaces, and a spindle on which the diskis mounted.

4. A game device comprising a casing having an annular row of openingsin its top wall, closures for said openings, a spindle ex tended throughsaid top wall, a stop-bearing for the lower end of the spindle, and adisk mounted on the spindle within the casing, the said disk beingprovided with an annular row of numerals.

5. A game device comprising a casing having openings in its top wall,closures for said openings and a disk mounted to rotate in the casing,the said disk having devices thereon adapted to be disclosed throughsaid openings.

6. A game device comprising a casing hav- IIO ing an annular row ofopenings in its to wall, closures for said openings, a numera carryingdisk arranged in the casing, a rotary spindle on which said disk ismounted, the said disk being provided with a circular row ofperforations, and a stop-pin movable through said top wall and adaptedto engage in any one of said perforations.

7. A game device comprising a casing hav ing openings in its top Wall, arotary numeral-carrying disk in the casing, the said disk being providedwith a circular row of perforations, a sleeve secured to the top Walland having a slot at one side, a pin movable in said sleeve for engagingin any one of said I 5 perforations, and a finger-piece extended fromthe pin and adapted to s ide in said slot. In testimony whereof I havesigned my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribingwitnesses.
